1) Dentist consultationThe course of Clear Aligner treatment begins with a consultation with a specialist who will recognize your specific case in the discussion. The Clear Aligner method is used more and more often, but only after examination, dentist will be able to assess whether the case is eligible for Clear Aligner treatment. On the basis of the initial diagnosis and interview with the patient, dentist will also be able to pre-assess the duration and cost of treatment. During consultation, patients may also learn more about the method and get answers to their questions.

For initial diagnosis of severe malocclusion will be done cephalometric and pantomographic images, and then the jaw and jaw will be taken. On the basis of the first impression will be made set-up dental arches, digital analysis and simulation of treatment results. At this stage your dentist will be able to accurately and precisely define your treatment plan. It consists of a detailed calculation of the number of stages needed to achieve the desired results, the duration of treatment and the costs associated with it.

3) OverlayingOn the basis of the treatment plan, a set of overlays is made for the first stage of treatment. The first set consists of three different thicknesses (soft-0,5, medium-0,625, hard-0,75) pressed on the previously prepared model. The overlays are made using thermoforming technology. They are made of soft, biocompatible plastic, so that the patient does not feel uncomfortable wearing the overlay.

4) TreatmentClear Aligner treatment involves applying and wearing the overlay. The patient wears a variety of thicknesses, each for a period of one week.

Clear Aligner patches minimize the inconvenience of the treatment process, are comfortable and invisible. Their advantage is that they can be easily removed. They can be taken off, for example, for eating or drinking coloring and hot drinks, to protect against discoloration, and also during oral hygiene. However, they should be worn for at least 20 hours a day.

After 3 weeks, you need to visit your doctor. During this visit, the progress of the treatment is monitored, another impression is taken and another set of overlays is performed. With regular checks and subsequent sets of overlays each treatment process is very precise and can be corrected at every stage. Treatment is more effective and faster, and the effects more visible.

The effectiveness of the subsequent stages depends on regular visits to your doctor and adherence to his or her instructions, particularly when wearing the overlay.

In the first year after active treatment, the retention cap is worn as long as possible throughout the day and absolutely throughout the night

In the second year after active treatment, the retention cap is worn for about 16 hours a day

After the second year the retention cap is worn only at night

The length of the retention period depends on the severity of the malady, how long the treatment took, and other individual factors.

Stabilized retainers are very well tolerated by patients - they are invisible and do not interfere with the patients in speaking, which is a great advantage.
